BREAKING
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.
Sheikh Qassem: The government’s latest decision [on the disarmament of the Resistance] is non-charter-based, and if the government continues down this path, it is not faithful to Lebanon’s sovereignty.

A "horrific" tornado ravaged a northern Texas town Thursday causing widespread damage, with reports that at least three people were killed and up to 100 others injured.

Several million Americans across multiple southern and midwestern states were under severe weather alerts as hazardous storms fueled by high temperatures ravaged across the region, bringing tornadoes, thunderstorms, and hail the size of golf balls.

It is worth noting that tornado, severe thunderstorms, and flash flood warnings were reportedly in effect in parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Florida. 

A dangerous tornado ravaged Perryton, a town of some 8,000 people in the Texas Panhandle, on Thursday evening with storm-chaser drone video showing several buildings including mobile homes destroyed or damaged, trees uprooted, and vehicles overturned.

In a statement, Governor Greg Abbott said, "Texas is swiftly deploying critical emergency response resources to provide all necessary support and assistance to protect Texans and help those impacted by tornadoes in Perryton." 

"I ask all Texans to join Cecilia and me in praying for our fellow Texans who have been impacted by this horrific storm. Stay safe, Texas," he added.

On its account, the National Weather Service reported a tornado watch was in effect for parts of north and central Texas, including Dallas, which is home to 1.2 million people.

Here comes the wall of not fun for the Metroplex. Storm near Denton has quarter sized hail and 70 mph winds. Storm may try to come down 35E into the heart of Dallas.

"Large hail and damaging wind gusts are the main threats, but a tornado or two can't be ruled out," NWS said in a statement.

This area of the US is home to frequent tornadoes. In March, tornadoes left over 200,000 people without electricity in Texas.
